Hi Octane Peeps. Here is an animation that we were able to FINALLY finish, thanks to Octane render. The bathroom space at the end of the animation was taking over an hour per frame with V-Ray 2.0. With Octane (drum roll please)

5 minutes per frame. TADA!

I've had the release of this project on hold because it would have taken our small render farm over a MONTH to render just ONE of the bathroom camera sequences! I was able to finish it up in less than two days with Octane.

The majority of this animation was rendered with V-Ray. Only the bathroom scene was rendered with Octane. The bathroom entry sequence has too much noise and needs a re-render, but it's time to move on.

I <3 Octane Render.

That's an excellent question with an easy answer:

We started and finished the project with V-Ray for the Client several months ago (before I knew about Octane). The bathroom sequences were taking so long to render (over an hour per frame) that we couldn't include them in the final version.

Enter Octane Render.

We were able to render the bathroom sequences in less than 24 hours and finally "finish" the animation to our satisfaction. The Client was happy months ago, but we weren't. Now, we're happy too.

Honestly, I'd love to go back and re-render the whole thing with Octane. And, I just might.

If those frames were taking over 1 hour per frame, then you are not using VRay correctly.
Octane might be the better solution for you but I wouldn't blame vRay for the slow render times.

Dejavu,

Maybe you're right. Would you like to take a look at the MAX file? Perhaps you can spot my error.
